    1. Digital copy, I assume? Wouldn't it be lovely to have it in a physical format though??

  2. Those two titles are quite intriguing. Enjoy!

    1. I've finished Marion Lane and really liked it. Will probably finish Futures today, as it is quite compelling so far.

  3. I hope you enjoy Marion Lane and the Midnight Murder. I recently read it and enjoyed it. Girls with Bright Futures is on my wish list. I hope you enjoy that one too! Have a great week, Sarah!

    1. I really liked it! The steampunk-ish aspect was unexpected and I didn't hate it. I did not guess who the murderer was, so that's a plus also. I am reading Futures now and also liking it, hoping to finish it today!

  6. A BUMPER week for me - But not to worry TOO much as they're mostly fiction:

    Non-Fiction:

    Napoleon in Egypt by Paul Strathern

    Fiction:

    Arkhangel by James Brabazon
    Q by Christina Dalcher
    Lion Heart by Ben Kane
    Katheryn Howard - The Tainted Queen by Alison Weir
    The Lady of the Ravens by Joanna Hickson
    The Animals of Lockwood Manot by Jane Healey
    Spontaneous by Aaron Starmer
    Kill Me Twice by Simon Booker
    Nothing To Hide by James Oswald

    1. THANK GOD! But seriously, why are you reading Weir?!?! I'd be interested in the Egypt book is Napoleon's name was not also in the title. I can not suffer that tiny, annoying little man.

    2. I thought it was Gregory you didn't like? Weir is good (I think) and a real historian... isn't she??

      Delete
    3. You are right, Gregory is THE WORST. Absolute rubbish. And yes, Weir is a real historian so she actually does have the background and knowledge to write historical fiction. BUT SHE HAS CEASED TO USE FOOTNOTES OR CITE HER WORK! I get a bit disgruntled when historians think they don't have to do that part anymore because they are professionals. That's all. Her scholarship is still pretty solid as far as I can tell, but I could more definitively if I HAD SOME FOOTNOTES AND CITATIONS TO COMPARE TO. (For the record, that is me yelling at her, not you.)

  7. Zero for me this week, but I am making headway with all the books I acquired last month!

  8. Yes! All the good blog names are taken. I need to update my blog to wordpress and come up with a different blog name. It isn't easy.

    1. Definitely not. Every name I tried that was witty or funny was taken. I literally slammed my hand on my desk and said, "UGH! All the book blog names are taken!" ...and here we are :)
